Farewell to friend, colleague and a fine gentleman

the islands come to Manitou

The Bulletin staff is saddened about the death of Jack Elder, our colleague and friend. He had a fatal heart attack on Saturday, March 26, at age 78.

Jack had been in declining health for several years, yet was able to continue writing about Manitou Springs City Council for the Bulletin — right up to the March 24 issue.

The news of his death is drawing fond memories from people who knew him.

“It is safe to say that I wouldn’t be the same person I am today, without him. He was the kindest of spirits, and always working hard to encourage and support our community. … Raise a toast to one of Manitou’s best. You will be missed incredibly, Jack.” — Andrew Scott

I’ll miss him.” — Roy Chaney, deputy city administrator

Manitou to try ‘progressive’ parking rates

By Amy Gillentine Special to the Bulletin Visitors and Manitou Springs residents will see a change in the parking rates along the crowded Manitou Avenue corridor and in many of its parking lots starting next month after a City Council workshop Tuesday, March 29.

The rates, known as progressive parking

rates, are designed to keep at least 8 percent of Manitou’s roughly 1,000 parking spaces open at any given time, relieving congestion during the busiest summer months and bringing more business to downtown shops and restaurants.

That’s the hope, at least.

Manitou Mobility and Parking Board members shared their plans with City Council

— and if the pilot project works the way they believe it will, progressive parking could be one solution to traffic congestion.

“I think we are on the verge of a breakthrough; we are on the cusp of an opportunity and should try it now,” said Bill Koerner, MAP board

cars circle around Manitou, looking for a place to park. If we charge them more, the longer they stay, they will leave — and it reduces that driving.”

After three hours of discussion, council directed the city administrators to implement the pilot project with a start date between May 1 and May 15.

Council will discuss the pay-by-hour rates at its April 5 meeting and the penalties for going over the allotted time during its April 12 work session.

Currently, people are hit with a $70 ticket for going over their allotted time.

There are options to enter cell phone and license plates at the kiosk so visitors are notified when they have 10 minutes left on the meter. They can go to any kiosk to add more time or they can use an app on their phones, Chaney said.

“Communication on this is key,” said Mayor Pro Tem John Shada. “Can tourists — who might be brand-new to this — learn about how this is going to work? Can they put in their time and see the rates go up before they put in a credit card?

“We have a reputation for being a friendly city.

I’d hate to see us poop all over that.”

Chaney agreed that the kiosks and signs around Manitou would explain fully how the system works. Technology yields the data needed to know how many parking lots are full all the time, and how often people leave. It can also let people know when their parking time is near its end and give them the option to add more time from their phones or any kiosk.

COUNCIL HAS APPROVED TO MOVE FORWARD: • Progressive parking rates in two zones and the Barr Trail Zone; • Progressive parking automated fee increases/ decreases based on data; • Resident downtown parking receive 50 credits a year; • Business employee parking program costs $100 per permit, permits limited per business based on parking requirements; and • Repeat customers get a business pass card, which costs $15 for 10 hours to $75 for $50 hours.

Jack Elder was crucial to keeping my dreams alive When I was in high school, OPINION I was a bit of an idiot who probably didn’t deserve a second chance. Jack Elder gave me one, anyway.

I was set to be on staff for the Manitou Springs High School student newspaper, The Prospector, for my senior year. I had freelanced a little and was Daniel excited about the chance to write Mohrmann about the school’s sports teams. sportswriter In a few of my freelance pieces, I had written some things that had irritated a coach. That coach then went to Judy Barnett, the English teacher in charge of the paper, to voice his displeasure.

She told me I couldn’t be on staff that fall. That news hurt so much. In retrospect, it may have been the consequence I deserved (although I can’t remember now what I wrote but I do know that I was likely too big for my britches at that moment).

What hurt worse was that the coach had gone to the Pikes Peak Bulletin, an upstart weekly newspaper to which I’d also started to send sports stories. To my recollection all these years later, I had never published anything in the Bulletin that

should’ve warranted a dismissal from contributing.

But that’s what (briefly) happened. An exchange between my mom and then-Principal Rob Cody resulted in a call from the school to the Bulletin to say the coach had no business taking a school matter to an outside business. They should consider bringing me back.

It was Jack Elder who supported that move. I still remember meeting with him to talk about what was expected of me in terms of coverage, deadline and behavior.

I was so happy to get the chance to keep writing sports because even then, I knew that I wanted a career in that field. I did it for the experience and didn’t make a single penny. I don’t know if that kind of arrangement would fly today, but at the time it was mutually beneficial to both me and the Bulletin, which was still very much an infant paper.

The Bulletin’s sports page as seen today looks that way in large part because of Jack. My standing as a writer for the paper when I was in high school led Ralph Routon to recruit me back to the Bulletin when Larry Ferguson retired as editor in 2015.

I remember a couple of years ago — before no one could gather because of COVID-19 – the paper’s staff was meeting maybe around Christmas time. We all had to introduce ourselves (a lot of us

don’t see each other often, if ever) and say how long we have been with the paper. Jack was sitting two chairs to my right.

“My name is Daniel Mohrmann and I take on the entire sports page. I’ve technically been a part of the Bulletin since 2002, when Jack Elder had me writing Manitou sports when I was still a senior in high school.”

Jack and I didn’t interact much after I graduated, but that was my subtle gesture to let him know how eternally grateful I was for his faith in me. I don’t know if he took it that way, but he gave me a smile and a head nod.

I’m so much more appreciative of that interaction today than I was on that day.

Without Jack Elder, I don’t win a column writing award for the Bulletin at the CPA honors a few years ago. I don’t pursue sports writing — specifically high school sports writing — as a career.

My work with Mile High Sports, CHSAANow.com and every outlet I’ve freelanced for in between probably never happens.

I could’ve very easily given up on this avenue, but Jack gave me a second chance. Maybe I deserved it, maybe I didn’t. But I made the most of it in so many ways and that never would have happened without him.

Letters to the Editor Don’t play games with historic preservation district

To the editor: On Tuesday, March 15, Manitou Springs City Council, by a vote of 6 to zero, denied a request to take approximately 6 acres out of the Keithley Log Cabin Historic Preservation District. The land in question is about two-thirds of what is known as the McLaughlin Lodge/ Cheyenne Village area at 183 Crystal Park Road.

The overflow crowd applauded.

The applicant had requested the removal to facilitate the building of nine new more-modern homes. City staff had recommended approval, but the Historic Preservation Commission failed to adopt staff recommendations, with a 3-3 split vote.

After a lengthy presentation by city staff and the applicant’s planner, one councilor noted that, “The setting matters.” In effect, not every square

inch of Manitou needs to be built on.

“The trees, the topography and the setting matter, thus the area should be preserved.”

In truth, over the past 10-plus years, the Keithley Log Cabin Historic Preservation District has been under attack from real estate speculators and spec homebuilders.

It is a recognized game plan.

The real estate speculators buy up a log cabin that traditionally sits on multiple small lots (platted in the 1940s), turn the cabin into a rental and sell off the tiny 50-foot lots to a spec homebuilder, who jams in another house (an almost log cabin).

On Chelton Road alone, this has been repeated three times, with a fourth on the way. This game plan is changing the very nature of the Keithley Log Cabin Historic Preservation District, which we set out to preserve back in 1980-83.

Council’s action on March 15 sends a clear message to the

community, the planning staff, the HPC, real estate speculators and spec homebuilders. We will protect the Keithley Log Cabin Historic Preservation District.

I trust they get the message.

Sweet deal for the Cog, but not for Manitou

To the editor: While many in our community celebrated the reopening of the Cog Railway last summer, I don’t know how many of us are aware of the 50-year agreement that The Broadmoor negotiated before committing to rebuild.

In their first year of operation since reopening, the city returned over $500,000 in tax revenue that the Cog Railway had collected, resulting in an effective tax rate that they actually paid of about 2.5 percent.

I wonder how the small business

merchants of our fair village feel about that? How do the hotels and bed and breakfasts who pay 11 percent tax feel about that?

Some may refer to the Cog as an asset to our community and that refunding tax that they collected is a small price to pay for such a valuable asset.

An asset, by definition, pays for itself. The Cog clogs our roads but pays nothing for maintaining them.

During the time the Cog was closed for renovations the gift shop tax revenue increased by 13 percent in 2018 and by a further 16 percent in 2019, showing that the Cog doesn’t credibly increase the revenues of our small businesses, yet they are not paying their fair share in taxes.

I would hope that our City Council corrects this unfair rebate of taxes collected, but at the very least the citizenry deserves to know how things stand.

Pikes Peak Bulletin 5 “Great man, I enjoyed our friendship and he will be deeply missed!” — Brad E. Witham

FAREWELL/from page 1 “He was positive, ethical and always looked for the good in everyone. This is a HUGE loss to our community.” — Denise Howell, city administrator

“A dedicated community journalist, Jack’s decades of reporting for the Pikes Peak Bulletin, as well as other local publications, made Manitou stronger and wiser.

“What I will remember most fondly about Jack is his dogged determination to get the story right, his kind smile, his wry insights full of historic color, and his love and respect for all things 80829.” — Bulletin publisher John Weiss

“Jack was always thoughtful and kind when I spoke with him — it was part of my Wednesday routine to check in with him, to make sure he had everything he needed for his story. He was a great man, and will be missed.” — Alex Trefry, Manitou Springs public information officer “Jack worked for me when I owned the Pikes Peak Journal and covered — guess what? — City Council. Three decades later, he was doing the same job and, this time, checking with me for details on city business.

“He was a professional, but with that special seasoning that comes with living in and loving the community. Jack wrote fairly and objectively. He understood community priorities and that tempered his writing; he wrote what people needed to read. He knew how to inform and what to emphasize.

“Reporting for a small newspaper in a small town is, among other things, a balancing act. The community knows you and has solid expectations. You write for the public, which includes your friends and enemies, and they let you know what they think.

“Jack loved Manitou and had many friends. He was a mix of interests and talents with a background that quintessentially fit the checkerboard here. Besides reporting, he tended bar, played softball and was a mainstay for the Carnivale celebrations. He sold cameras, he sold books. He was a gifted photographer.

“We will remember him fondly, and he certainly earned his place in the pages of our history.” — Mayor John Graham “Absolutely a really great guy.

Peace, my brother. — Doug Edmundson “This is such sad news. Jack was such an important part of our community.” — Annie Schmitt “Dear Jack, thank you for your wonderfully wild sense of humor and commitment to Manitou Springs. We are all better for you, your love of the community and your work.” — Becca Sickbert, executive director, Creative Alliance Manitou Springs

“Manitou has lost a unique soul and a steadfast contributor to the PPB.” — Don Bouchard, former general manager of the Bulletin “My association with Jack Elder goes back nearly 40 years, when he applied for a part-time position covering local sports at the Colorado Springs Gazette-Telegraph. He never refused any assignment, always made his deadlines and accepted feedback willingly.

“Through the years, I watched with respect as Jack carved out his own unique niche in Manitou Springs — supporting worthy causes, helping behind the scenes at community events, cultivating positive friendships across the spectrum. Then, when the Bulletin needed someone to cover city government, he wanted to do it and gave the same sincere effort that became his trademark, literally to the end of his life.

“It’s too bad Jack isn’t around now to see how many Manitou folks are so fondly remembering him. But he did win a Manni Award, and he was recognized by others along the way. Simply put, they don’t make ’em like Jack Elder anymore.” — Ralph Routon, Bulletin executive editor emeritus “I worked with Jack on a number of occasions through the years, and I’ll remember him as a friend and dedicated newspaper reporter who always worked hard to be objective in all the stories he covered. You could count on him to report the news without slanting it or taking sides, which is rare in today’s media world.

Manitou was so lucky to have him.”

— Larry Ferguson, Bulletin reporter “When I think of Jack, I’ll remember his kind eyes and bashful smile. He was wealthy in the way it really counts: He was enriched by the love of his friends. Manitou Springs, and the Pikes Peak Bulletin, will never be the same. — Rhonda Van Pelt, Bulletin editor

The time is now to restore our Carnegie Library Francois Raab After 18 months of hard work by city staff and the Preserve and Renew Our Carnegie Library Task Force, it is now time to commit to the renovation of our best architectural icon and fund the library renovation project.

Built in 1911, the Carnegie library is in dire need of renovation and expansion as it has fallen into disrepair and does not meet the Americans with Disabilities Act requirements.

The library renovation project started around 2015. An initial effort led to a preliminary architectural design, but City Council at the time did not move the project forward and it lingered untouched for several years.

In 2020, an ADA lawsuit forced the issue. To settle the lawsuit, the Pikes Peak Library District had to temporarily relocate the library to the Manitou Art Center and the city, which owns the building, had to close it.

This raised the concern that our iconic Carnegie building would no longer host Manitou’s library and potentially be turned into office space or worse, a storage facility. In 2020, a citizen task force was formed to help the city restart the renovation project.

Over the past year and a half, the city has gone through a rigorous selection process to hire an architect, contracted with a firm with experience in renovating multiple Carnegie libraries, presented multiple initial design options, reviewed them through a community input process, refined the design based on the input received, presented a conceptual design and further refined it through another community input process, reviewed the design with the Parks and Recreation Board, the

Historic Preservation Commission, the Planning Commission and City Council, and further revised the design based on all the combined input.

In total, thousands of volunteer and city staff hours and $150,000 have been invested into getting us where we are today: ready to commit to funding the renovation project.

Of course, like with any big decision, there is no lack of hesitations and second thoughts. Some want to wait a bit longer before deciding. “What is the rush?” they ask.

The rush is that “kicking the can” on a project that has already taken seven years is just mismanagement.

The rush is that when a project has followed a rigorous city-driven process and has momentum, we should capitalize on our efforts and move to the next step. The rush is that waiting for the sake of waiting is just a waste of our time, to say nothing of our money.

Some people are now coming forward with new design ideas and cost guesstimates, and are arguing for last-minute design changes. Although these ideas might be valuable, should they be given priority over the large body of community input received during the formal review process?

What if a few more folks come forward with more ideas? Should we re-start the design process each time? Should we repeat the rigorous architectural analysis and cost calculations across all trades that our hired architectural firm has already done for us?

No design will ever satisfy everybody. But the city used a comprehensive process to combine all

our ideas into the best possible outcome. We all had an opportunity to participate.

We should be proud of where we are and how we got here. For the sake of our future, we should support the outcome and move forward.

Some consider the cost of the project too high and wonder where the funds will come from. These would be legitimate concerns, were it not for the fact that Manitou voters have already voiced their opinion on this matter.

Voters approved the Manitou Arts, Culture, and Heritage tax, which started as a means to fund the library renovation and was later expanded to cover other projects. These funds are now being collected and council has approved the MACH Board’s recommendation to allocate a portion to the library.

Combining this yearly allocation with the rent PPLD pays for the Carnegie building will provide the collateral necessary for a loan. Adding a compelling funding commitment by council will show that our city has “skin in the game” and it opens the door to grants and donors.

This is how projects like these are funded. The cost is only too high if we ignore the cost of doing nothing.

Now is the time to rally around the design that was created through broad community input and to reaffirm our commitment to our Carnegie Library. * Please join me in writing to City Council to voice your love and support for your library and ask that they fund the renovation project without further delays. Contact all councilors by emailing citycouncil@manitouspringsco.gov.

Little Free Pantry

takes aim

at food insecurity Story and photo by Larry Ferguson

C

olorado Springs resident Hailey Radvillas opened the Pikes Peak Little Free Pantry in front of her Westside home a little more than a year ago, and since then she’s found that the enterprise is wildly successful, to say the least.

“We have dozens of people coming by every day, some dropping off food and clothing, some taking them,” Radvillas said.

“We can’t keep it stocked for long. Items are always going to be gone by the next morning. The need is so great.”

The concept behind the Little Free Pantry is simple and to the point: Area residents, restaurants and other businesses drop off food, clothing, toiletries and various other items, and visitors can take anything they need — no questions asked.

The colorful pantry, consisting of several drawers and shelves, along with a cooler on the side, sits in front of Radvillas’ house at 516 W. Pikes Peak Ave. It serves not only homeless people, but is open to anyone in need, including anyone being forced to choose between paying for housing or purchasing food for their families.

“We have people who drive up and get stuff and we have some neighbors who visit the pantry,” Radvillas said. “We consider this mutual aid. We’re not a nonprofit and we’re not a 501(c)(3).

“We want this to be as local as possible.

We’re all taking care of each other. If you see something you need, take it.”

Radvillas and her husband, Cullom, based the Little Free Pantry concept on the Chicago Love Fridges and Denver Community Fridges programs that are aimed at reducing food insecurity and waste. The Denver program’s mission statement points out that “people in the most vulnerable circumstances know their needs best,” so no one polices how much or how often someone takes from the fridges.

“Ours is also a place you don’t have to fill

Mustangs clobber MacLaren for first win of season

Erica Sherwin chases down the ball during Manitou’s 11-1 win over Thomas MacLaren on March 29.

Story and photo by Daniel Mohrmann The Manitou Springs girls soccer team got its first win of the season in a big way. The Mustangs shook off the cold and the rain to beat Thomas MacLaren 11-1 on March 29.

It was the first action for the Mustangs (1-1-1 overall) after their return from spring break. The goals came early and they came often.

Erica Sherwin netted a hat trick, scoring three goals in the game. Julia Mayne and Kara Donegan each added two, while four other players scored once.

Sami Benge-Kulzer had no problem finding teammates in scoring position as she dished out four assists in the game.

The Mustangs hit the road this weekend as they embark on their every-other-year road trip to Colorado’s southwest corner. They’ll face Bayfield on Friday, April 1, and then Pagosa Springs on Saturday, April 2. It’s the start of a five-game road trip for Manitou.

The team will return home on April 14 against Atlas Prep.

Manitou golfers take on rain at Cherokee Ridge Story and photo by Daniel Mohrmann It was cold and rain fell for a while, but the Manitou Springs girls golf team completed action at the TCA Invite at Cherokee Ridge on March 29.

It came after the Mustangs practiced for just one day after taking last week off for spring break. Play was expected to be a bit rough, but overall the team had to start somewhere.

There was certainly some good that came out of the day. Tyler Parratt hit a solid 4-iron off the tee on No. 3 before pitched off the green just left and two-putted for par. From there on out, she limited her damage to mostly bogeys and ended the day shooting a 30-over-par 104 to finish 11th.

But as Parratt walked up that fairway, she couldn’t help but look at the positives of how the round was unfolding.

“I’m playing so much better than I did in my first tournament last year,” she said.

That’s an important note to keep in mind as she has goals of dropping her score throughout the season and getting back to the Class 3A state tournament.

Cherokee Ridge is a bit of a friendly course, a nine-hole track that the girls loop twice, and it gave them a good chance to get in some competition while truly getting a better feel for where their game is.

“That’s why we want to play in this early of a tournament,” coach Ken Vecchio said. “Coming off spring break, the girls didn’t play much at all, so this gives them a chance to get a tournament under their feet before they go out and start playing at these 18-hole courses starting next week.”

The overall results don’t mesh with what any team would hope for, but this wasn’t a tournament where the Mustangs’ goal was to go out and win. Instead, it

was meant to serve as a measuring stick for where improvements need to be made through the course of the season.

“I definitely could’ve done better and there are some things I need to work on,” Parratt said. “Looking at the team scores, there are things they need to work on as well.”

Ivory Johnson-Ragan and Anna Apotheker also competed at the Invite and know that they have room to grow as golfers this season. But that’s what the first tournament is for. A true measurement of their development will happen at the end of the season.

Fourth-grade student on path to health and fitness Courtesy of Pedestrian and Cycle Manitou Greetings from Pedestrian and Cycle Manitou (PaC-MAN)! We recently interviewed a local fourth-grader who chooses to walk to Manitou Springs Elementary School each day. Here is their perspective (they want to be anonymous) as well as a few words of encouragement asking other students to do the same.

And if you drive, please remember the following 2022 national dates: Wednesday, May 4, is Bike to School Day and Wednesday, Oct. 5, is Walk to School Day. We ask that you look for road users of all sizes, types and shapes every day to yield when pedestrians are using crosswalks.

Please remember that sometimes school children can be harder to notice, and we ask that you slow down and drive with awareness.

As the Colorado Department of Transportation asks in its Left Behind campaign, which aims to decrease the number of pedestrian crashes in Colorado, “Please drive safe and watch for pedestrians” so that we may all get home safely.

Information: tinyurl.com/CDOTsafety.

Thank you.

How long have you been a resident and why did your family choose to live in Manitou?

I’ve lived here my whole life. My family wanted to live near the mountains.

Different Drummer scholarships offered to high school seniors Manitou Springs Real Estate is again presenting the Different Drummer Scholarship. It’s a one-time $1,000 gift intended for two seniors at Manitou Springs High School, or are home-schooled or live in Manitou, but attend a different high school.

The scholarship aims to support students who have a particular passion, but don’t necessarily fit into the “typical” scholarship profile. They are awarded to students who exhibit focus and ambition toward meeting their goal or fulfilling their dream or passion.

The scholarship can be used for anything that will help the student accomplish this: college or trade school expenses, private tutoring, special lessons, supplies, equipment, tools, etc.

No grade-point average, transcript, class ranking, school activities, club memberships or school offices are considered.

Applications are due April 22, 2022.

In 2018, the Creek Walk Trail Master Plan was completed, identifying optional trail alignments and goals for the Creek Walk Trail through community engagement. This document serves as the guide for the design of future trail segments.

Currently, Phase 3 of the Creek Walk Trail, which is from Schryver Park to the Chamber of Commerce, is pending final approval from the Colorado Department of Transportation to advertise for construction.

For Phases 4 and 5, design creation was initiated in the fall of 2021.

As a next step, the city has launched the Creek Walk Trail Public Information Room.

This is a central location to view the proposed alignment of Phases 4 and 5 of the Creek Walk Trail project, as well as learn the background of the project and how to provide feedback.

John Kessler installs his eagle sculpture near the Eastern Arch in June 2020. The artwork is part of the Spirit of Manitou Legacy Art Project.

Artists needed for installation on bridge, two sculptures Creative Alliance Manitou Springs (CRANE) announces three new calls for artists, with more to come in April. The public art projects currently listed include an art installation on the Beckers Lane Bridge and two sculptural works slated for installation in Manitou’s eastern commercial district.

“The goal for the Beckers Lane Bridge installation is to engage residents and visitors with exceptional artwork that activates the streetscape and encourages exploration,” said CRANE Executive Director Becca Sickbert. “And we’re particularly pleased that this project will enhance a bridge dedicated to our own Marcy Morrison.”

Project budgets range from $35,000-$40,000 and are funded by the Manitou Springs Urban Renewal Authority with administrative support from CRANE’s Public Art Committee. Both of the $40,000 sculptures are part of the Spirit of Manitou Legacy Art Project, a five-year program to create an artistic and visual legacy in the sunrise gateway to Manitou Springs.

“We are honored to be working toward an even more visually engaging public art landscape on behalf of the URA,” said Audrey Gray, CRANE vice chair and Public Art Committee chair. “We look forward to seeing submissions from both local and national artists.”

To balance a competitive national call with its mission to support local creatives, CRANE will waive application fees for artists who live or work in the community.

The deadline for applications is Friday, April 22. For more information on the projects and application processes, visit manitouspringscd.org/calls.

Jack Elder 1944-2022 John (Jack) Howard Elder III, 78, of Colorado Springs, died peacefully at home on Saturday, March 25, 2022, in the company of his longtime friend and caregiver, Jeannie Canape. Jack was born Jan. 4, 1944, in Washington, D.C., to John Howard Elder Jr. and Mary Jane (Mickey) Elder. He lived in Manitou Springs for 40 years until relocating to Colorado Springs last summer.

His vocations included journalist, photographer, bartender, teacher, photography equipment sales, college textbook sales, construction, livery and extensive self-funded anthropological field study.

In his own words: “He tried to cause no pain, tell no lies and always learn something. He wishes you well.”

He is survived by his sons, John Howard Elder IV of Virginia and Jesse Elder Augustine of Montana; brother Doug Elder and his wife, Vianna; brother Bruce Elder and his wife, Linda; sister Lib Elder; his uncle Alfred Elder and wife, Debbie; stepson Ian Augustine and wife, Nina; stepson Dan Goodman and his fiancé, JoAnna Ross; numerous nieces, nephews and cousins; his dear friend Jeanne Davant; and his cat, Cleo. Jack was predeceased by

Jack in San Francisco, 1978 his son, Kevin Elder; wife Johanna Okovic Goodman; his son’s mother, Margaret Augustine; and wife Kay Wilson Elder.

From birth, Jack lived a life of frequent and extensive travel before finally finding a home in Manitou Springs. Jack was always grateful for the many kindnesses the people of Manitou showed him, and he will be deeply missed by all who knew him. We will hold near the memories of the twinkle in Jack’s eyes, his kindness and humor, and his insatiable thirst for knowledge.

By Jack Elder

City Finance Director Mike Leslie reported to City Council at Tuesday’s work session that there was approximately $32,000 available for implementing changes in the zoning code and related public processes for 2005.

The recommendations submitted by consultant HB&A were itemized and came with the cost of each item included. HB&A will be contracted to perform the work of revising the code and establishing revised processes so the recommendations also served as a de facto bid on each item even though the firm’s involvement to date eliminates the requirement for a new bidding process.

The 12 items on the HB&A list total nearly $91,000.

HB&A also indicated several, mostly procedural changes, that can contribute to a more efficient and less contentious process that can be implemented in-house at no cost.

Operating within the $32,000 available this year, council identified the creation of approval criteria for each zoning category, including downtown, projected to cost $20,000; revising and updating the public process, projected to cost $9,100; reevaluating the setback requirements in the general residential zone, which consumes as much as one-third of planning staff’s time, projected to cost $5,000 and adopting and implementing the National Fire Prevention Association’s standard 299 at a projected cost of $3,600.

The NFPA standard would provide clear-cut guidelines, especially for construction on upslopes, where none exist now and thereby eliminate considerable negotiation,

E D I TO R

reports, hearings and general misunderstanding and arguments.

Representatives of HB&A, City Council and members of city staff will now meet to finalize costs.

At press time, it was not anticipated that further formalize action would be necessary to start the zoning and planning revision process as outlined Tuesday.

Council nears administrator choice Following Monday’s open house with finalists for the City Administrator position and a closed executive session Tuesday to review the candidates and the interview process that took place Monday, City Council appears to be embarking on final discussions with one or more candidates. Details from council executive sessions are, by law, not made public The four finalists are Elizabeth Black, District Manager for the Copper Mountain Consolidated Metropolitan District in Colorado; David Blanchard, City Manager of Blackhawk, Colo., from 2000 to 2003; Catherine Green, Director of Planning for the City of Pueblo from 1992 to 2004; and, Rick Sonnenburg, Town Manager of Monument.

Bentley Henderson, Assistant Town Manager of Carbondale, Colo., withdrew from the process Friday The candidates were interviewed Monday by a panel of Colorado city managers and by City Council. The four then met with members of the public and with members of city staff.

No public timetable has been set for the final hiring.

Last week’s answer: Thomas Chisesi, Lisa and Tim Heckel, Annie Schmitt and Doug Edmundson identified it as the sign at Rocky Mountain Beignets, 724 Manitou Ave.

Happy Cats Haven – Pet of the Week Hey there, I’m José, a handsome boy with thick medium-length gray fur and sparkling golden eyes. I’m so grateful I was rescued from outside and I’m looking forward to finding my furever home! I’m a bit shy at first but once I’m comfortable with you, I’ll follow you around and be your Kitty Secretary! At 6 months old, my eyes see everything that moves! I like to pounce on feathered toys just like a big cat! I’ll do best in a calm home without kids, but a quiet, gentle feline-friendly dog or cat might be OK! You can adopt me for just $100, which includes my neuter, vaccinations, microchip, food and litter starter kit, and a free well-kitty checkup.

Happy Cats Haven: 719-362-4600, 327 Manitou Ave. Adoptions by appointment only until further notice. www.HappyCatsHaven.org, www.Facebook.com/HappyCatsHaven.

Humane Society – Pet of the Week Well hello, it’s nice to meet you. I’m Miso, a 2-year-old shorthair boy. I’m looking for my new home. I came in as a stray so my friends at HSPPR don’t know a lot about me. I can be shy at first, so a quieter or mature home might be best for me. I do enjoy gentle petting once I’ve warmed up to you, but I’ll first need to get comfortable in my new home with my own space with food, water, toys and a litter box for myself. My adoption is $100, and I come with a voucher for a veterinary exam, vaccinations, 30 days of pet health insurance and a microchip, and I am already neutered. Just ask for Miso (1573491).
